Academic Affairs

Sponsored by the College Board Southern Regional Office and Davidson College, the institute is designed to benefit beginning AP teachers and/or current AP teachers wishing to build on an existing course. 

The office of Davidson Arts and Creative Engagement (DACE) strives to integrate the arts into the daily lives of our students, faculty and staff. Operating out of the DACE Studio, a creative studio and craft space located in the North Basement of Chambers, DACE is committed to making creativity accessible to all.

The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS) provides opportunities for students and faculty to explore topics that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Through the CIS, students have the ability to complete majors that are not regularly offered by academic departments or programs. 

The John Crosland Jr. Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) brings together specialists in technology, library sciences and education to support the work of all Davidson scholars—from first-year students to tenured professors. The CTL is conveniently located on the main level of the E.H. Little Library.

Education Abroad offers students the opportunity to choose from more than 125 Davidson and third-party provider programs located all over the world to study abroad and earn academic credit. Programs are open to students regardless of major or area of study.

The E.H. Little Library serves as a dynamic environment for the Davidson College community to collaborate, explore, experiment, and grow as researchers, creators, and scholars. The library is open to students 24/7 throughout the academic year. 

The Dean Rusk International Studies Program offers lectures, music and dance performances, art exhibits, and travel grants for students and faculty to internationalize their experience as members of the Davidson campus.

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness supports strategic planning and decision-making support across the College and provides coordinated leadership for assessment, accreditation and institutional research functions.

The Office of Fellowships helps Davidson students and alumni articulate their strengths, refine their goals, and envision their lives of leadership and service through the application process for world-renowned fellowships and scholarships.

The Office of Sponsored Programs is a full-service (pre- and post-award) office that manages administrative processes related to externally funded grants. The office acts as a liaison between faculty, college administrators, and funding agencies.

The Registrar's Office coordinates course registration, maintenance and protection of academic records, and certification of students for continued enrollment and graduation. The office maintains, interprets, and monitors academic policy and communicates procedures to faculty, to students, and to the public.

Davidson is a recognized leader in undergraduate research, scholarship and creative work across all academic programs. Faculty members integrate original research and scholarship into the classroom and encourage students to join them in extensive exploration of original work through the academic year and during the summer.
